[Intro]
Oi you see when something happens yeah?
You know everything happens for a reason innit? (Hello)
So you know when something happens (Hello), it happens for a reason
You know that innit Rascal?
It all happens for a reason, just brush (Hello) your shoulders (Hi, hi) you get me (Hello, hi, hi)
It all happens for a reason, just brush your shoulders you get me, you get me (Hello, hi)
We're rollin' deep, yo
[Verse 1]
I know you hate me, 'cause of what happened now its all changed
And I'm not saying you should like me 'cause I won't change
And I'm not trying to be rough now I'm just holding it down
You know that life is messy, it can go up and down
I know you hate me cause I was just being a wiley yute
You shouldn't think I'm sick, I'm normal I'm very real (Real)
I know you hate me 'cause you thought I was going on grimey
You shouldn't think that I was just showing a little love, I'm real (I'm real)
I wouldn't do anything directly at you, come on this is me we're talkin' about
I'm just me, I'm rowdy bowdy yo, and you know I wouldn't hurt you on purpose
Come on this is me we're talking about, I'm not here for that purpose
And I wouldn't do anything against you, it was just you and me, rollin' deep
Me and her, that was just some next ting
And I wouldn't do anything to stop your career, you can still be here
A boy is a boy and a girl is a girl, I swear
[Chorus]
Hate is a strong word (Hate is a)
Think, why do you hate me?
I'm not against you, I'm not against you (I'm not against you)
If it happens, then it happens for a reason (It must've, ay yo, yo)
It must have happened for a reason (It must've happened for a reason)
I'm not lying, yo, yo
I said
Hate is a strong word (Is a)
Think, why do you hate me? (Think)
I'm not against you, I'm not against you
If it happens, then it happens for a reason (It happens for a reason, I'm not lying)
It must have happened for a reason (It must've happened for a reason)
Yo, yo
Listen next boys
[Verse 2]
I know you hate me 'cause I go on every station, it's okay (It's okay)
I don't wanna be tied down to just one station, it's okay (It's okay)
I know you hate me cause you think I write lyrics (Lyrics)
And I aim them at your crew (Crew)
Come on blud, that's not true (That's not true)
'Cause I know, who is who (Who), and I know where I'm from (From)
And I know I am me (Me), and I know you are you
So you should know, who is who (Who), and you should know where you're from (From)
And you should know I am me (I am me), and you should know you are you
You've got to understand (Understand), we are always gonna do our thing
You must understand (Understand), we're not trying to be better than you
You must understand (Understand), I'm just trying to make some money man
You've gotta understand (Understand), I'm not watching anybody's plans
We've got our own plans (Own plans), I'm not gonna sit here and watch it fail
We've got our own plans (We've got our own plans), me and Roll Deep see clear
We got our own plans (Own plans), don't be pulled by rumours that you hear
We've got our own plans (Own plans)
And right now my time is coming near
You shouldn't
[Chorus]
Hate is a strong word (Hate is a)
Think, why do you hate me?
I'm not against you, I'm not against you (Ahh, I'm not against you)
If it happens, then it happens for a reason (It must've, ay yo, yo)
It must have happened for a reason (It must've happened for a reason)
I'm not lying, yo, yo
I said
Hate is a strong word (Is a)
Think, why do you hate me? (Think)
I'm not against you, I'm not against you
If it happens, then it happens for a reason (It happens for a reason, I'm not lying)
It must have happened for a reason (It must've happened for a reason)
Yo, yo
[Verse 3]
Things happen for a reason (You know it happens for a)
If we have an argument, it happens for a reason (You know it happens for a)
If we don't see eye to eye, it happens for a reason (It just happens for a reason)
If you don't have it, you don't have it for a reason
For bad or for worse (Worse), it was all for a reason (It was all for a reason)
Wiley Kat was put on this earth for a reason (All for a reason)
We roll deep on the street for a reason (Reason)
I am cold in my heart for a reason, yo
[Chorus]
Hate is a strong word (Hate is a)
Think, why do you hate me?
I'm not against you, I'm not against you (I'm not against you)
If it happens, then it happens for a reason (It must've, ay yo, yo)
It must have happened for a reason (It must've happened for a reason)
I'm not lying, yo, yo
I said
Hate is a strong word (Is a)
Think, why do you hate me? (Think)
I'm not against you, I'm not against you
If it happens, then it happens for a reason (It happens for a reason, I'm not lying)
It must have happened for a reason (It must've happened for a reason)
Yo, yo
